The photo below shows the Cache
La Poudre River as it appeared during the flood in
June of 1983. The photo was taken looking north on 83rd
Avenue. The river bridge
appears in the lower half of the photo, towards the right.
The intersection of 83rd
Avenue and O Street is toward the top left of the picture.

......and they want to build a road through
the flood plain with the potential of something
like this happening?
